It shows all the lifestyle choices that led to his condition; like choosing not to get out and exercise, as well as regularly eating fast food and processed food.

Ultimately, this man’s unhealthy/inactive lifestyle began with his parents when he was just a baby; as the “twist ending” reveals. Therefore, this video is targeting parents.

I feel it was very well done.

Something I really appreciate about the video is that it ends with an offer to actually help anyone who is interested in learning how to make healthier choices, by directing them to the strong4life.com.

The website helps educuate viewers on how to make healthy decisions and changes in life. I respect that.

Sure, we all know fast food is a poor choice, but what should we eat instead? The website addresses that.

I think there might be a public misconception about families like mine, who shun fast food and eat a plant-based diet instead: that we are secretly going hungry or are even unhealthy.

Well, I can assure you we are not hungry, nor passing out because of weakness, nor in the hospital due to lack of nutrients, including protein.

Instead of focusing on dairy, we focus on nuts and seeds. Avocados make a great plant-based cheese substitute for many meals.

Nor are we lacking protein because of the beans and dark leafy vegetables we eat.

Granted, it doesn’t take being a vegan or vegetarian to recognize the importance of dramatically cutting back on animal-based food products and replacing them with plant-based foods.

My perception is that we live in a “paradoxed” society.

As a whole, we choose convenience and taste over health.

To make matters worse, the media that so much of America subconsciously pays attention to (beauty magazines, commercials, headline-making celebrities etc.) sends a mixed message:

“Beauty is on the inside…but you have to be thin to get people to like you, so buy this product to become like this thin person. But remember, all sizes are beautiful.”

Nowhere in that mixed message does it mention actually being healthy. Instead, the focus is on size and beauty.

Or at best, the focus is on calories- which is, in my opinion, illegitimate.

It’s actually good thing to eat a banana (despite the sugar) and cashews (despite the fat), because calories don’t account for the difference between good fat (from plants) and bad fat (from animals), as well as good sugar (from unprocessed fruit) and bad sugar (from processed foods).

That’s why I am passionate to educate open-minded people on what actually makes them healthy.

Feel free to contact me personally and privately with any questions about this. I know what I am talking about:

I used to be 35 pounds heavier, suffering from constant sinus issues and eczema.

Then I changed the way I think, eat, and live.

I began questioning where my food comes from, what’s in it, and what affect it has on my health.

Thanks for reading my blog today. I hope you found it interesting, unique, and relevant. Here is an infographic that shows some of the garbage that is in processed foods these days:
